Don't use this as a source that you quote in an answer, but Wikipedia has an entry here that you may find useful: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weathering#Hydration :smile:

Hydration is a type of weathering where rocks and/or minerals absorb water, which causes them to expand and due to said expansion they begin to break down.

Hope that helps, I've made a set of flashcards for weathering and would be happy to pass it alone if you'd like?
